The Bruins have only won once in their last five games, but that hasn’t stopped them from inching closer to finishing first overall in the NHL, and winning the Presidents Trophy that comes with it. The B’s have only won it once (1989-90) since the league began awarding it in 1986-87.

The B’s took 115 points into their final two games of the season – Saturday at home against the Sabres, and Sunday on the road against the Devils. Colorado and St. Louis entered their games on Friday with a chance to hit 115 points by the end of their seasons, but neither one could catch the Bruins in terms of the first playoff tiebreaker – Regular and Overtime Wins. The B’s have 50 ROWs.

That leaves the Anaheim Ducks, with 112 points, 50 ROWs and two games remaining, as the only other team that can win the Presidents.

Two points over the weekend, earned in any way, shape or form, will give the B’s 117 points – a total Anaheim can’t match.

The B’s could also win by earning just one point over the weekend, but they could also lose out, because if the B’s earned only one point, and finished with 116, that means they’d stay at their current 50 ROWs.

If Anaheim also finishes with 116 points, that would mean it had won its last two games (Saturday at Los Angeles; Sunday against visiting Colorado). Even if it earned both of those victories in shootouts – and stayed at 50 ROWs – it would win the Presidents Trophy. The next tiebreaker after ROWs is points earned in games between teams that are tied, and while the B’s and Ducks split two games this year, Anaheim earned an extra point because its loss came in a shootout.

Those aren’t the only possibilities, just the obvious ones. The biggest thing to remember over the weekend is that if the B’s come up with two points, they finish first overall and have home ice for as long as they’re in the playoffs.
